Causal Causal

Causal - Definition and Overview

A causal system is a system that depends only on the current and previous inputs. This property is referred to as causality. A system that gets values from the future is termed acausal.

Classically, nature has been considered to be a causal system. Though causality is still thought to be found in nature, discoveries in modern physics have challenged the view that nature is strictly causal. See Causality (physics).
